THE INTELLIGENCER LOCAIi MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION. Mr. Stephen Chastain died at his home, some eight or nine miles west of this place, on last Friday night of the dropsy of the heart. The celebration of Lebanon Division, Sons of Temperance, was very well attended on Saturday last, not-withstanding the very dis? agreeable weather. After an address from Mr. E. B. Murray, the Division met to initi? ate several applicants. Much interest is manifested in the temperance movement in this section, and the Division is in a prospe? rous condition. There will be a meeting of the Democratic Club of Varennes Township at Flat Rock on Saturday morning next, at 11 o'clock a. m. Speeches may be expected from Messrs. John B. Moore and E. B. Murray, who have been invited to address the Club on that occasion. The public generally are in? vited to attend. The meeting will begin promptly at the hour named. "Hard times!" sighs the farmer, as he loads his wagon with guano to put under cotton. "Hard times!" he exclaims, as he signs a paper making his lands and stock responsible for the payment of com and bacon purchased fifty per cent, higher than could be had for the cash. "Hard times i" he informs his family, as he hands them hand]as of cloth and fancy articles that could have been made at home or dispensed with. Comment unnecessary.. ' The citizens of Rock Mills Township are requested to meet at Providence Camp Ground on next Saturday, at 2 o'clock p. m., to attend the meeting of the Democratic Club of that Township. Addresses are ex? pected from one or more gentlemen at that time. All members of the Club, and those who wish to join, should make it a point to be present, as the election of delegates to the County Convention and the decision upon the question of primary elections will be before the Club. The ringing of the Court House bell and the cry of fire about sun down on last Fri? day afternoon filled many of our citizens with terror, and congregated in a very few moments ene of the largest crowds we have e,ver seen assemble in so short a time. The heavy gale which had been blowing all day would have ensured the spread of fire if it had broken out in a populous portion of the town, and there was a smile of satisfaction evident upon the faces of that crowd when it was found to be nothing more serious than the burning out of a chimney upon the premises of Hon J. P. Reed. We regret to announce the death of Rev. K. Vaughn, which occurred on the 7th inst. at his residence on the Saluda River, in Greenville County, near the Cooley's Bridge place. He had been in declining health for some time, but was not complaining more than usual for only a few days, and his death was unexpected by his own family. Mr. Vaughn 'wo3 an ordained minister of the Baptist denomination, a member of the Shady Grove church, and consequently be? longed to the Saluda Association. He was more than sixty years of age, and had reared a large family of children, all of whom have reached maturity. There was one of the severest steady winds ever- experienced in this section, without being accompanied by either rain or clond, on last Friday. It was a regular equinoctial gale, and favored our town with volumes of dust. At Pendleton it lifted the tin roof off of a portion of Mr. J. B. Sit ton's gin. and at Anderson it blew down the smoke stack of Osborne & McCully's steam, saw and grist mill. The injury in the former case was quickly repaired, as it was slight. In the latter case the damage was greater, as the stack was high and was. surrounded by scaffolding, which was also blown down. Its replacement requires considerable work, and has occasioned delay in the business of the mill. Had the wind been in whirls much damage would have been done by it. RAILROAD CONVENTION". At a regular meeting of the Town Council of Anderson, on Saturday last, the following resolution was offered by Capt. S. M. Pegg and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the Town Council of An? derson take pleasure in tendering the hospi? talities of the town to the delegates who may attend the Railroad Convention at this place on the 30th inst., and that the Council in a body do meet the delegates at the depot and assign them to rooms in the Waverly House and the Centennial Hotel, and that the Town Council do defray the expenses of the said delegates while in attendance upon the Convention. A committee was appointed to confer with the proprietors of the hotels, and make such arrangements as they deem best for the en? tertainment of the delegates. sudden death. On Friday last, 17tb inst., Mr. William Bell, from the neighborhood of First Creek Church, was en route to Bel ton with his wagon, in company with his son and other persons. Before the party reached Belton, they got out of the wagon to walk and re? fresh themselves, and stopped at the black? smith shop of Dr.. W. C. Brown to warm, where Mr. Bell lit his pipe and was quite lively^ talking and laughing with those around him. Shortly after leaving the shop, when they had passed Mr. Joel T. Rice's residence, in the town of Belton, Mr. Bell fell down lifeless in the road, while in the act of speaking. He expired without a struggle, and it is thought his death occurred from heart disease, as he had been subject to symptoms which lead to this conclusion. THE WEATHER. For the last few days the weather has been very cold and disagreeable, which is in striking contrast to the mild and beautiful winter which has been the subject of wonder and remark throughout the entire country. But as the time for spring was at hand there was a decided pull-back in the seasons, and old winter, whose appearance in proper time bad been very seldom, paid us another visit, and now "lingers in the lap of spring." The cold freezes of Friday and Saturday last have completely destroyed the prospect for a fruit crop in this section, and it is feared that many of the young trees which were far advanced in budding have been killed. On last Sunday night the first snow of the season fell, and Monday morn? ing, the first day of spring, dawned upon the earth wrapped in a mantle of snow from two to three inches in depth. The young men and boys availed themselves of the occasion to enjoy a general snow-balling, and it was at the peril of getting well pelted that any one dared show himself upon the square in the morning. In the afternoon the snow had become muddy, and the par? ticipants could have found very little pleas? ure in the fight, for there was nearly as much mud as snow in the balls. The usual amount of slush and mud have followed the snow, and, although most persons enjoyed its appearance at first, very few will regret ' when it has entirely gone. "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, I will a family paper take, Both for my own and children's sake? If such there be, let him repent And have our paper to him sent." DISCRIMINATION DT FREIGHTS. We have from time to time spoken of the discrimination against the interests of the town of Anderson practiced by the Green? ville and Columbia Railroad, in the matter i of its freight charges, as an evidence that the company was inclined to use the monopoly which it enjoys in our carrying trade for the purpose of enriching itself, irrespective of j the interest of its patrons. This discrimina? tion as to places has long been regarded as unjust and oppressive by our people, but the most recent cause of complaint with the merchants throughout the County, is that a I difference has been made in the charges for ; freight to the same places along the road in favor of the grangers. Now this is very un ' reasonable in the railroad authorities, for if | any class of persons have a right to expect favorable rates from the road it is the mer? chant, who is constantly having freights sent over the road. It is the patronage given the road by merchants along its line which supports it, and it ill becomes it to discriminate againt this class of our citizens. Of course we are glad for the grangers to have as cheap freights as possible, and it is right that they should have them as low as can be afforded by the rood. We do not think they ought to have been required to pay any higher freights than that charged upon their shipments of fertilizers, but we think the merchant ought to be allowed the reduction of two dollars per ton also. It is discriminating against the men who are its constant patrons. The plea that the grangers order in bulk is not a valid one when urged against a regular shipper, for it is really very nearly as much trouble to ship ten car loads to one address as it is ,to ship them to ten different parties. The difference in the trouble is not more than the merchant has the right to expect of the road. There ought to be a reasonable rate for merchants and grangers, or any other person, and towns should be dealt with equitably charg? ing the same rate to all proportioned by the distance. Our merchants should look after these matters for themselves, and if it is necessary to secure bulk of freights to obtain cheap rates they should club together. If | they will be as active in their efforts to ob? tain a reduction of freights as the grangers have been they will probably be equally as successful. The Boards of Trade should endeavor to arrange for freights to be re? duced, and then the merchants would be able to reduce the price of goods, and keep up with or ahead of other towns in prices, and still be able to secure a profitable income from their business. DEMOCRATIC CLUB AT 8LABT0WN. Pursuant to a call made through the An? derson Intelligencer, a number of citizens met at Slabtown Academy for the purpose of organizing a Democratic Club. On mo? tion, James Mullikin, Esq., was called to the chair, and J. P. Smith requested to act as secretary. The chairman, in a few very appropriate and well-timed remarks, ex? plained the object of the meeting, and urged the importance of thorough organization and united action as the only means of our political redemption. A Club was then organized with twenty six members on the roll, and with the fol? lowing officers: Joshua Jamison, President; J. M. Welborn and J. M. Smith, Vice Pres? idents ; J. P. Smith, Recording Secretary ; J. M. Glenn, Corresponding Secretary; James Mullikin, W. C. Watkins, E. M. Wardlaw, T. S. Glenn and G. A. Bankin, Executive Committee. The constitution re? commended by the Anderson Intelligencer was unanimously adopted without any al? teration. On motion, it was ordered that the proceedings of this meeting be sent to the Anderson Intelligencer for publication. The Club then adjourned to meet again the second Saturday in April at 2 o'clock. J. P. SMITH, Sec. March 11,1876. SONS OF TEMPERANCE At a regular meeting of Seneca Division, No. 91, Sons of Temperance, holden on the 18th of March, 1876, the following officers were elected to serve the ensuing year: Dr. J. T. Cook, W. P. J. J. Gikuer, W. A. , J. A. Crow, R. S. Miss Mary Cox, A. R. S. W. B. Crow, F. S. Miss Sallie Skelton, T. J. J. McLees, Chap. R. C. Cunningham, C. Miss Wailie Anderson, A. C. Mrs. M. L. Gilmer, I. S. L. F. Hembree, O. 8. B. F. Crayton, P. W. P. BRIEFLETS OF STATE NEWS. There has not been a grog shop at Due West since it was an Indian trading post. J. C. Hemphill, Esq., of the Abbeville Medium, bos been elected President of the Abbeville Democratic Club. Mr. J. Ward Motte, a former citizen of | Laurens, who has lived in Newberry for several years, died in the latter place on the 14th inst., in the 61st year of his age, after a long and painful illness. The citizens of Due West organized a Democratic club on the 11th inst., with Dr. John A. Robinson as President. Dr. Hemp hill, Prof. Hood and other prominent citi? zens took part in the proceedings. Dr. David C. Means, of Fairfield, died suddenly last week. He was returning home from his brother's residence, when he either fell from his horse and was killed by the fall, or he died from an apoplectic fit. The Methodist church at Ninety-Six will be .dedicated on Sunday next, 26th inst. Bishop Wightman will preach the dedica? tion sermon. The new building is elegant and commodious, and speaks well for the zeal and liberality of the community. Capt. V. E. McBee, of Greenville, pro? poses to patent an anti-thief arrangement for stables. In each stall there is a machine that tinkles for each quart of corn or ear that is thrown into the trough; and the same machine is made to reverse when either is taken out. The Abbeville Medium says that Benjamin. L. McLaughlin, so favorably known in Orr's Rifles for his superb gallantry, is now living at Shoe Heel, Bobeson County, N. C. He married an excellent lady, has a family of | lovely children, runs a model farm and is prospering. Good luck to Benjamin ! The Union Times comes to the front with this emphatic declaration: "It is a very noticeable fac;, that in nearly every county where Democratic Clubs are organized, and the people are most zealous and hopeful, the straight-out policy is prominent in the resolutions adopted at the public meetings. The people will not longer be led by a vas clllating and sycophantic press. They feel that it is more honorable, and equally as Erentable, to be defeated under the flag of | onesty and reform, than to claim a sham victory that gives to ignorance, dishonesty and rascality possession of the field, with all the honors and spoils.". A horrible murder occurred at Lynch burg, in Sumter County, on Wednesday night, 15th inst. John Murphy, a merchant of that place, was brutally murdered by un? known parties, and his store was then robbed and burned. The charred remains of the murdered man were found in the ruins, with the extremities burned off, and his Bkull crushed in as with an axe. His body was covered with grain from the sec? ond story, which prevented it from being entirely consumed. The deceased was a quiet, inoffensive citizen, never interfering in politics, and the motive for this dastardly deed was undoubtedly plunder, as he was supposed to keep considerable money about bim. GENERAL NEWS SUMMARY. ? Belknap was a man of simple tastes. He would not drink champagne when ho could get rye whisky. ? The women's mission societies of the United States have contributed about $270,000 during the past year, most of which went to foreign missions. ? The Pennsylvania Legislature are considering a bill which makes it a penal offence to point a gun or pistol at a person, whether in jest or in earn? est. ? Mrs. Ella F. Clark, of Mechanics' Falls, Me., shot herself on Saturday be? cause her husband refused to live with her after she had been divorced from him. ? Miles White, of Baltimore, died on Sunday, aged 84 years. He was widely known as an active member of the Socie? ty of Friends. He leaves an estate val ? ued at $2,600,000. ? St. Louis proposes to go into the cotton manufacturing trade. A party of capitalists from Lowell, Mass., are out there examining the facilities for manufacturing that staple and looking for a location. ? The United States Senate has passed a bill reducing the salary of the Presi? dent to twenty-live thousand dollars per annum. His salary was raised a few years ago to $50,000, and now that Grant is about to vacate the office, Republican Senators propose this measure of reform. ? The planters about Vicksburg have got hold of a shrewd idea. They talk of I investing their money in cotton and hold? ing it over for high prices in the summer. They say they can buy it cheaper now than they can possibly raise it, and there is no use of being bothered in raising a crop. ? The residence of Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, in Memphis, was sold at Bank? rupt sale on Tuesday. There was no competition. His residence, probably worth $c ,000, was bought by a gentleman for $26, s nd valuable library by another person for $11, and both were presented to Mrs. Pillow. ? At each entrance to the Centennial Exposition grounds there will be an au? tomatic arrangement to register the daily number of visitors. The managers esti? mate that at the lowest 50,000 people will visit thei exhibition every day. This would yield $4,500,000. The expenses will be nearly two millions. ? The Mayor of Richmond, Virginia, in his annual message, directs attention to the fact that the colored population of | that city die at the rate of 29,65 to every 1,000, whereas the whites die only at the rate of 15.97 to every 1,000 ; and recom? mends the adoption of more stringent sanitary ordinances for the protection of | the poorer classes of society. ? Prof. J. Lawrence Smith, the scien? tist, gives an explanation of the recent shower in Bath County, Kentucky. He says the specimens sent to him for analy? sis are evidently the dried spawn of bo brachian reptiles, doubtless that of the frog, transported from the ponds and Bwampy grounds by currents of wind to the spot where they were found. ? The election of a Democratic House of Representatives in 1874 now proves to be a national blessing. Not that the Democratic party is the custodian of the honor of the country, but that the exis? tence of a powerful opposition in Con? gress is necessary to honest administra? tion. Would a Republican House have investigated the corruptions of the War Department ? Never. Party pride pro? hibited the admission that inquiry was needed.?N. Y. Herald. ? Gen. Belknap first made the ac quaintance of the two Misses Tomlinson, who afterward became successively his wives, when he was "marching through Georgia" as provost marshal of Sherman's army. Two brothers Tomlinson, who were both in the Confederate service, had been captured, and their sisters visited Gen. Belknap to obtain their release. It is understood that the fair Kentuckians captured the general, who subsequently surrendered to one of them. ? A correspondent at Old Fort writes to the Charlotte Observer that a few days ago, while the hands employed on the Western North Carolina Railroad work, were engaged in cleaning out the bottom of the shaft in Swannanoa Tunnel, which is 126 feet deep, and which has heretofore had 100 feet of water in it, a human skel? eton was discovered with a hole through its skull. It is supposed that these are the remains of some person who has been murdered and the body thrown in this shaft, within the last five years. The discovery, of course, excites a good deal of sensation in the neighborhood. ? As a passenger train on the Georgia railroad was bowling along, on Friday, at the rate of thirty miles an hour, to? ward Augusta, the engineer discovered in front of him, just as he swung around a gap, a huge tree laying across the track. With great coolness the engineer applied the steam brakes, and reversed the en? gine, but too late to avoid the collision, and when the engine struck the tree, the speed of the train bad slacked to about ten miles an hour. Fortunately, beyond a severe jar, no other damage was done to the train. The tree was about forty feet long, and in circumference the size of a man's waist. It was some time be? fore the railroad hands could clear the tree from the track. SPECIAL NOTICES. The Hon. Alexander H.

There is no person living but what suffers more or less with Lung Disease, Coughs, Colds or Consumption, yet some would die rather than pay 75 cents for a bottle of med? icine that would cure them. Dr. A. Bos chee's German Syrup has lately been intro? duced in this country from Germany, and its wonderous cures astonishes every one that try it. If you doubt what we say in print, cut this out and take it to your Drug fists, Wilhite & Williams, and get a sample ottle for 10 cents and try it, or a regular size for 75 cents. ?S" In the March number of the Rural Carolinian, wc are informed that Mr. J. M. Crawford, of Columbia, S. C, realized $1,03G last year from one acre of land, planted with the celebrated "Cheatham's Champion Double-boiled Prolific Cotton Seed." Of this amount, $516 was received from the proceeds of the crop, and $520 as premiums for the best yield. Mr. C. A. Reed, of this place, is agent for this Seed, and we would like to see some of our enterprising farmers give it a fair trial. Tribute of Respect. At a regular meeting of Rock Mills Grange, No. 154, P.

Resolved, That a copy of preamble and resolutions be forwarded to the family of deceased, and published in Anderson In? telligencer.

Such is fur? nished by the DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP, Manufactured by J. C. Nichols <fe Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh from the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the well. No snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities, and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth? er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work? ing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify. It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relics on its own merits, upon which it asks your patronage.
